daily value

Label percentage reference

Daily value is a reference amount used on nutrition labels, indicating the recommended daily intake of a nutrient based on a 2,000-calorie diet.

Labels show what percentage of the daily value a serving provides: One serving contains 15% of your daily value of iron.

The figures help consumers compare products and gauge nutritional adequacy, though individual needs vary.
